California Earthquake Design - 05/13/01 07:42 PM
Can any body help me with advising some simple criteria to be taken into account when designing a structure for California (Grand Sur area) recognising that the next big quake is getting closer.
Specifically how many "g's" horizontal and vertical ?
Must timber sills be bolted to a reinforced foundation ?
Is it allowable to have posts standing directly on concrete pilasters i.e. no sills ?
